The things we surround ourselves with become part of the habits, rhythms, rituals, traditions, and ceremonies of our everyday lives. They form the basis of our “being,” both as individual people and a community. 
‍
This honoring of the self and the world is at the heart of SENDO, a lifestyle brand infused with the essence of Brazilian life. SENDO is Portuguese for “being” and the name is meant as an invitation to people everywhere to experience Brazilian culture and welcome it into your being. 
‍
The inspiration for SENDO grew out of my own life and connection to Brazil. As a first generation Brazilian-American, I always had my foot in two worlds. I have blissful memories of childhood summers spent in Brazil, moving in harmony with the colorful, sensual, passionate pace of life and being captivated by its rich and vibrant cultures. 
 
‍
I’ve spent two years exploring and seeking out collaborators to help bring SENDO to life in a way that would contribute to the well-being and prosperity of Brazil by supporting its local artisans. Each piece is hand-selected with care and supports a more sustainable and connected world for ourselves. 
‍
I invite you to celebrate our culture and lifestyle by filling your cherished spaces with objects that evoke the atmosphere of this beautiful country and become part of your life and being.

Abraços,
Caroline De Sousa
